Thread: BSNL DATACARD WITH 2.2MBPS SPEED!!! NEED SMaLL HELP!!

Hey guys,is there any guys out there,who are from Orissa and are using BSNL Datacard which has Rs550 UNLIMITED PLAN with Max speed 2.2MBPS????


Im really amazed by this Rs550 unlimited plan and also the speed is very reliable,as its giving 2.2MBPS..
SO is anyone here using this plan???
Im going to take this datacard plan of BSNL tomorrow and i just want to know if there is any kind of shortcomes in it or not

IT WILL COST ME Rs 4000 in total for DATACRD + ONE MONTH's BILL..
So what do you all say??
Shall i go for it????

The datacard is based on EVDO Service.
I am using it for the past 3 months.

The service is good and u will get rated speed but there are few drawbacks.

1) Since it is WLL based the signal is not same at all places.
2) U will get 2 Mbps Max but not average.
3) Average Download speed will lie between 100-150 KBps.
4) In peak hours the speed may not be as good.


But all in all this service is excellent as compared to all other datacard services.

Ok thanks bro..
but am i going to get that much speed from that???
And why do they depend on signals???
I used to use Relaince Data card 1 year before and it worked fine for me everywhere. And BSNL towers are everywhere,so i think,it should work good.
My house is 15 kms from BSNL tower. Will it work fine??

nO REPLIES???

very few people here uses EVDO(very less availability as currently it is in a testing phase).also did you confirm the availability of EVDO at your local exchange because you will get a 2mbps speed only if your local exchange has EVDO otherwise you will get 144kbps speed using bsnl cdma network.though both cdma & EVDO use same data card.i am not sure but 15km is a big distance considering that the EVDO signal will be carried using bsnl's cdma network.better to clear all these details from a bsnl person in your area.

What is the difference,if i purchase the EVDO card and if i hire an EVDO card???
WHich is good???

In my area they a charging Rs.6500 for purchase while Rs.250 as rent.
In my advice u should gor for rent since after purchasing the modem u have no choice left but to use it (Since the service is still in testing phase).

EVDO signals are different from CDMA and provide high speeds in short ranges.
Higher the signal better the speed and vice versa.

Since u r living 15Kms away from Exchange, if the tower is near u with EVDO equipment then u will get good speed.

Note: If some other guy has take the above said service in ur area first check with him abt QOS.

hi, i bought BSNL EVDO CARD &i m getting downloading speed of 10KBp/s on a torrent. speed is up & down & taking time to open google page also . i am living in centre of COCHIN ON 10th flore

that is why you should get all the facts before taking any bsnl plan.bsnl provides two types of wireless internet speed---CDMA & EVDO(testing phase).CDMA is available everywhere but its speed is 144kbps.EVDO's speed is upto 2.4mbps but is available in very few places.it depends on whether EVDO equipment is installed at your local exchange.for both speeds(CDMA & EVDO) same data card is provided by bsnl.therefore you must always confirm whether EVDO service is available at your local exchange because if it is not you will get only speed of 144kbps(18KBps) on your EVDO card.

rock_daring bro, u seems to be getting nice evdo speed, from where r u bro ?

EVDO speed i heard is not that great!!!i guess its still not implemented well!!

Hi i am using bsnl evdo on winxp in Jaipur.My signal strength is full but the speed is about 10kBps in avg.If there are some tweaks to enhance the speed please help me.

i don't think in jaipur the EVDO service is present.many users confused EVDO card with EVDO service.to use EVDO service you must have EVDO card but if EVDO service is not present then also EVDO card can be used but it will work on a CDMA network with max. speed of 144kbps or 18KBps.

Boss! I'm from Orissa as well. I stay in BBSR and am planning on getting the 500C+ Home plan this month. The EVDO card sounds cool and maybe you can fill us in on how well it performs.
Will check with the BSNL office here.

hi,recently i have heard about the Bsnl data card,that gives CDMA and EVDO based service. at the same time there are Airtel,Reliance,TATA indicom.......diferent data cards,so m just confused which will b better..and what is the lowest plan for unlimited data download in Bsnl data card service?

[ I MEAN TO SAY IN ALL STATES OR SELECTED >>>

ITS BETTER TO HAVE 550 UL PLAN THAN TO HAVE 750 UL PLAN AND SPEED IS ALSO GOOD (IF ITS 100-150 kB)...I AM HAVING LAPTOP SO I WILL GET RID OF WIRES N CAN MOVE FREELY WITH MY LAPO......

i give this connection

1).. on rate based for per month charge 10 out of 10 as it is just 550

2)..on performance based its 6 out of 10 as it seams get dissconnect after a span for 1 min nearly like resetting the server it may happen 5 times a day


3)..on speed base as u know its unlimitted so i rate it 9 out of 10 as speed varies not fix
u may get 34kbps for download(i.e 256kps speed) to 300kbps download (i.e 2mbps connection)

but usualy it lies between 80 kbps to 120 kbps

4) problem there is not tweeking facility(port forwarding)
as u r not allowed to touch the settings of evdo sorry boss its bsnl who dont trust us


%) My view point

i u r downloader then go for it is best no time limmit

but look u have bsnl tower nearby for me it just 300 meters away :16:




ya u get bsnl other plans on fixed line but i prefer this u get unlimited facility better than fixed plan



note:

in my area ghaziabad

1) if u go for rent base

u have to pay:
Rs.2405.00 initially at connection time as demand note (includes security, one month charge , taxes etc)

monthly u pay 750

haha

@) if u buy device

its of Rs. 3500

so intialy u pay Rs. 3500+1405

too high

monthly Rs. 550
cool ha its ur choice

i said go for it

as with speed u dont have to care for it disconnection of about 1 min


i like this connection
and using



and remember

from other service providers reliece there card dont provide such speed they r not comparable with evdo


ya u can compare them with cdma connection of bsnl(it is also a data card called nic) but dont go for it(speed(144kbps) so download 144/8 kbps sucks
:surrender:

Hey is that true that even though in 2.4 mbps (PCMCIA card for laptop) plan even if we have full signal i heard that the speeds fr torrents will be very low due to some private ip address sharing and some stuff like that...

bro...im going to take this connection in 10 days and my activity is mainy downloading from torrents only...

Plz suggest me something...

Can I use the BSNL CDMA Data Card in roaming circles?

In my home circle I'm about 1 KM away from the BSNL tower. What can be the expected speed in kilo bits per second using the CDMA data card?

And how about the stability of the connection?

speed is not wellit is going up to 2mbps how

Dear Sir,

I am staying at North Guwahati, it is situated at north bank of River Brahmaputra.

Form last 2 week I am using EVDO card provided by BSNL, litarally it saying that it can go up to 2.4MBPS. But sadly saying that most of time it not showing the network meter also, and it can't reach more then 100Kbps.

Can any body help on this regards.

Thanking you:48:

hi Apurba! I am Laksh from Nagpur. Just dont get mess with all these stuff. Think about following while purchasing usb modem/card:-
1. Price- BSNL has lowest price than any other company like TataIndicom, Airtel,Reliance.
2. Speed- All other service providers except BsNL could give little better speed.
3. Portability- Whether to use for Desktop PC or for laptop. For laptops PCMCIA(specially designed for laptops) card will be good. For Desktop USB modem will be ok.
I think this will be useful info. for more contact me. Bye

HI guys
EVDO EVDO EVDO

but d real problem is y d heck iam not getting d speed as said by bsnl
i xpected dat my speed will vary from 80 to 100kbps but of no use......and my signal strength is gud i mean at constant rate i get 3 bars.

will i get full speed if my signal strength increases from 3 bars to 5????
and my house is hyderabad n its nearly 3kms far from xchange.......:52::52::52::52::52::52:
so what should i do now?????????
n how??????? pls help me out guys.....

The data cards supplied by BSNL are of two types.
NIC card-speed upto 144kbps
EV-DO card speed upto 2.4mbps(the speed is upto 2.4 and not continuously 2.4mbps)

The speed of your card depends on a lot of factors like the dstance from the tower ,open places around your house etc.

I am also from Hyderabad and have been using the card for last 20 days.
At first the card didn't give great speeds during the daytime (20-30kBps)but at night I used to get around 60kBps(480kbps) on an average.
But since a week the speeds are always around 70-100kBps(560-800kbps) throughout the day and it occasionally touches 1 or 1.2 mbps at night.
And now the torrents are also working fine.
And I get 5 bars signal and I got this after a lot of adjustment.
You said that you were getting 3bars signal is it EV_DO or IX.
see this picture



If you are getting EVDO then the max speed would be 2.4 mbps.But in realty you should be geting speeds of around 600-800kbps.
If you are not getting those speeds once visit
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ check your IP and post first set of numbers here then I will be able o tell you are getting a share ip or non shared ip.
Generally shared ips give low speed.
